The '''Apex Site'''<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''', ''cutscene [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApVw-kywQ8o "Walk in the Park"]''</ref> was a [[Forerunner]] installation that contained a fleet of many {{Class|Sojourner|dreadnought}}s inside the [[shield world]] [[Trove]].<ref>'''Halo Wars''', ''cutscene [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAq_vZuxlDY "I Doomed Humanity"]''</ref> The ships were left inactive for hundreds of millennia after the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], docked in massive towers surrounding a hovering central platform high above the interior surface of the shield world.<ref name="Monsters">'''Halo Wars''', ''cutscene [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLGoPIjE-OQ "Monsters"]''</ref>

The main platform was accessible from the Apex Base Site, a structure on top of a towering hill comprised of a series of ramps, containing a transporter pad that teleported anything stepping into it to the Apex itself. It was located on the inner surface of the shield world, most likely somewhere under the Apex Site.<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level, ''[[Reactor (Halo Wars level)|Reactor]]''</ref>

One end of the platform contained a spherical activation console covered in Forerunner glyphs. The console could only be operated by a [[Reclaimer]], and when activated, would unlock the dormant Forerunner ships. When the installation was activated, a beam projector behind the activation console would emit a continuous stream of energy directly upwards, an effect similar to many Forerunner facilities such as [[control room]]s. On the other end of the platform, there was an [[elevator]] which lead right into the [[shield world]]'s [[Astroengineering|artificial star]].<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level, ''[[Escape (Halo Wars level)|Escape]]'', John Forge: ''"I'm in the sun."''</ref> Because of this, the lift obviously had to be shielded against the extreme heat. On the way to the star, there was an "access point", the nature of which is unknown, but it was likely a type of energy barrier, as it would need to be "broken through" in order to access the star.<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level, ''Escape'', John Forge: ''"Forge here. I'm at the access point to the sun. I'll need some time to break through."''</ref>

After the repulsing of the Covenant assault and the death of the Arbiter in battle, [[John Forge|Sgt. John Forge]] ascended up to the center of the shield world and overloaded the FTL drive, causing the star to go [[supernova]] and obliterating the installation.{{Ref/Reuse|Monsters}}

*The activation console of the Apex facility is similar to that of the [[Relic (location)|relic]] on [[Harvest]].
